Want a career with political, environmental, and economic implications that makes a difference to whether people eat, keep warm and are able to be mobile? A career with no boundaries internationally, that could take you to work on a North Sea rig, Azerbaijan or the South China Sea, especially in areas such as KL Malaysia and Jakarta Indonesia. A market that is changing shape all the time? An end product that is affected by war zones such as Libya? A job that will have you working alongside talented people from different countries of the world? A product for which there will always be a demand, until it runs out? Look no further than oil and gas. Energy give a country independence and power on the world's political and economic stage.
Working in the gas and oil industry is an exciting choice and a career with longevity. Energy is an emotive topic because of nuclear power, oil spills and their effect on the environment and the price of petrol at the pumps. There are obviously environmental complaints.
There is a shortage of skilled workers, so in a world of high unemployment, the world is your oyster. However, watch out for scams.
This career guide has been created exclusively for The Telegraph and shares market trends, job trends and tips for a successful career in oil and gas.
